The primary triangle

the long version

"Affective communion is at the core of our intimate relationships, and their basic unit is the primary triangle. Yet we scarcely know how a family develops as a threesome." "The authors conceived the scenario they call the Lausanne triadic play (LTP), as a narrative forum for observing and recording dyadic interactions and the moments of transition between them.". "The acclaimed Primary Triangle paradigm is elucidated here for the first time. It will resonate with researchers and clinicians alike."--BOOK JACKET.
